This post was supposed to show up last night, I don’t know what happened! It was certainly a marvelous weekend! I spent this past weekend in New York City with three of my best friends, celebrating my friend Rachael’s bachelorette weekend. We rented a room at the Kitano in midtown, a Japanese hotel with … [Read more...]

Yesterday was absolutely beautiful here in Pittsburgh – between a 45 minute walk with Lexi and 3 mile run after work, I even got a little bit of sunburn on my shoulders! Breakfast: A slice of the quiche I mentioned making Monday night, plus an orange around 8 am. I planned on a later lunch, … [Read more...]

The 4+ inches of snow that fell here last night kept me from my favorite spin class of the week this morning. I did about 30 minutes of yoga + an arm workout at home, but it’s just not the same! Hopefully I’ll make it to an evening spin class after work. Let’s try to … [Read more...]

It’s WIAW time with Jenn, and this month is all about green – mostly in the form of veggies! Breakfast: 1/3 cup oats microwaved with 1 tsp almond butter and 1/4 cup soy milk to make a “crust” to add my pear yogurt to – loved this new Chobani flavor (pssst, you can win … [Read more...]

Happy Monday! Instead of the fact that we have a full work week ahead, let’s focus on what’s making today marvelous, thanks to Katie. I hope that you all are getting an early taste of Spring like we are in Pittsburgh. It’s been great to see some light in the sky past 6 pm, even … [Read more...]

I mentioned my love for this new one-big-delicious-pancake recipe in my catching up post. I LOVE a good pancake – thick and chewy. If I want a crepe, I’ll make crepes – not some of the “pancake” recipes shown in the blog world that look like tissue paper. This is dense without being dry, and full … [Read more...]

Hi friends. I’m still way behind on blogging, but I’m working on getting back into the swing of things, I promise. Let’s get to what’s been marvelous recently… My very talented friend and neighbor, Hannah, has designed a new blog layout for me! I can’t wait to get it installed but we’ve been having some … [Read more...]

Hi, everyone! My name is Steph and I am the blogger over at www.StephSnacks.com. I am lucky enough to have received the opportunity to write a guest post for Claire and couldn’t be more happy about the opportunity since I have been following her blog for quite some time. I wanted to take the time … [Read more...]

Hi all! Still dealing with some health issues to the point where I didn’t even exercise this weekend. Bella doesn’t understand why I’m sitting around instead of taking long walks and going to the gym. I’m still in a cooking rut and eating random snacks as meals. The last thing I’ve made for Adam was … [Read more...]
